With a glimpse of the source, I found that the main UI is defined by Qt Designer Forms and the styes are controled by qss strings distributed troughout the code, which made the UI Design complex and very non-native.
For a quick fix, I suggest making the UI "native" first by removing the color-related definitions in qss texts (so Qt can use the default color defined by the theme). Then we can look into the font sizes and button geometries to make it less outstanding. Hopefully we can get a simple UI which fits into the theme.
And for long-term considerations, I think a migration to QML cam be helpful, though I'm not sure if it is possible. I haven't trully worked with QML yet but I do feel that it can give the UI more flexibility and possibility.
These are not very much about "A better UI desigh" though. As I saw in the trunk source code, few more than changing colors and text-styles and widget geometries can be done easily. Some useful moves like making the UI configurable may need fundamental changes in the code. Again, I suggest migranting to QML first, which I believe can make further development easier.
